Performance
THIS IS A MOCKUP VERSION PLEASE DO NOT CITE
The Performance section measures participants’ practical digital skills across a range of real-life tasks. Instead of self-reports, these items test what people can actually do: for example, searching for reliable information, recognizing AI-generated images, protecting their devices, or using AI tools effectively. The items cover ten areas of digital competence, from strategic and critical information skills to AI and generative AI skills, providing an overall picture of how well individuals can navigate today’s digital environment.
